‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed.
GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision.
What happened?:
▪️ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated.
▪️ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead.
▪️ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed.
▪️ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out.
The bigger picture:
▪️ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature.
▪️ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...

Being neurodivergent is when everyone is watching you get bullied by someone who is hitting way below the belt, crushing your soul for no reason, and no one steps in. But the minute you defend yourself with something you think is unremarkable yet kinda snarky, the whole crowd turns on you like “Whoa! Too far! I can’t believe you just said that! That’s so mean!”

@unable0_ In the gold rush, you should sell shovels.
What should you sell in the shovel rush?
English

It's a battle between "I want to live" and "I deserve to live, if only people would just..."
People do not "just". Ever.

Making your bed is a waste of time.
You mess it up immediately upon going to bed. It's a completely pointless ritual that serves no purpose other other than aesthetics.
Just keep your sheets clean by doing regular laundry and you are good.

@Hitchslap1 I know “high IQ” people who can’t make their own beds or attend meetings on time.

@FilmXFilmsStudi @VValtzy_ Bro if you carry a weapon you're responsible for knowing how to use it safely and that includes during interactions with the police
English

@VValtzy_ I think the reasonable way to ask the question is "Do not take it out, but do you have a weapon on you?" or "Please don't reach for it, but do you have a weapon on you?"
Police get training; civilians don't. Burden of communication is on the cop.
English

Many people make the fatal mistake of treating cops like human beings.

I’m french and today I got an email from my government saying our ID got leaked due to a data breach.
It pisses me off because it’s the same government that’s pushing for Age verification. This will most likely reoccur and be more common as age verification becomes mandatory
Now a random hacker has my data… I’m tired of this authoritarian system

@Louis_Frood @FunkyKikuchiyo @_KrisWilson_ I thought it was a comparison of affection towards the other person, that if only 1 person is leaning it's a sign of an one way relationship
English

@FunkyKikuchiyo @_KrisWilson_ It's basically the idea that leaning towards your partner makes you feminine and submissive or whatever. People draw those lines on images of celebrities to make statements about who is the more dominant one in their relationship (for some fucking reason)

We're probably 2-3 years away from everyone admitting these guys are basically correct about all of their grievances. For now we're still at the "your reaction to this is more annoying than the thing itself" phase though.
